How to enable Full Disk Access in Find Any File
When starting FAF, it may present a dialog saying "FAF needs Full Disk Access".
Click OK to continue. (If you cancel, FAF may not be able to search your disks. See "Troubleshooting" below to enable it later.)
This will open System Preferences and show the Security & Privacy panel, with "Full Disk Access" selected on the left.
If the lock icon at the bottom left is not open, click it and enter your administrator password.
Finally, drag the icon you see below into the upper right panel.
After quitting and reopening FAF you're finished.
Troubleshooting
You may have accidentally denied "Full Disk Access" to FAF before. To check, open FAF's Preferences window. If there's a button titled "Grant Full Disk Access", click it and then proceed as shown above.
